Get ready for a fresh, dynamic way to work out! Jillian Michaels adds
extra weight to her hardcore circuit training techniques for a
total-body workout designed to burn maximum fat. Using a kettlebell or a
single hand weight, Shred-it with Weights helps you build lean muscle
and burn mega calories with two 30-minute boot camp workouts. Begin with
Level 1 and progress to Level 2 for maximum body-shredding results.
Stick with Jillianís program and you will see a lean, shredded body.

LEVEL 2: Elevate your heart rate with a vital warm-up then kick
things into high gear with jumping presses and lunges that will engage
the core and fire up muscles. Finally, calm your mind and rest your body
with a critical cooldown.

What I did like was the fact that a modification using a dumbbell was shown. Not everyone owns a kettlebell (I don't) so that was a nice modification.

Most of her moves involve upper and lower body (for example, a deadlift to a row). I did both workouts without the cool down after the first workout and I worked out for 50 minutes. It is nice, tho, to have two 30 minute workouts.

I would recommend this DVD for a change. I honestly don't think I would do it multiple times a week or even every few weeks, perhaps once/month.

Terrible form

I would not recommend this Dvd because of the bad form in it. Jillian is her regular tough self but I think she needs more experience with the K bells. I would pick someone with better form especially if you are trying to learn how to do them correctly.
